DK Sushi House treats its guests to colourful plates of sushi made from crispy tempura and fresh seafood, as well as savoury udon and bento meals of beef short rib, pork, and teriyaki chicken. Each elegantly plated dish is both a delight to eat and a pleasure to behold—slivers of orange salmon swim into floral patterns, morsels of white tuna float on boat-shaped party trays, and bites of red snapper are wrapped up in rolls of rice. Sake and cocktails complement traditional eats, as well as updated creations such as sushi pizza—fresh sashimi laid upon a disc of crispy rice.

When Joe and Theresa Klassen first founded Joey’s Seafood Restaurant in 1985, they were simply looking to create a friendly neighbourhood eatery that served made-to-order seafood. Though the company has since expanded to more than 69 franchises across Canada, it still falls under the leadership of its founder, who frequently develops new strategies for growth and expansion while continuing to supply each location with fresh, Pacific-based seafood.
Joey’s offers two distinct dining experiences: full-service restaurants (designed for families and their hungry sock puppets) and quick-serve places (designed for younger generations). At the quick-serve eateries, foodsmiths dole out a smaller menu of fried fish and shrimp. The full menu includes seafood entrees such as sautéed PEI mussels, blackened Pacific snapper, and Joey’s famous fish 'n' chips—fillets of halibut, cod, or haddock dunked into a secret-recipe batter and then deep-fried in canola oil.
Nationally, the company supports the Alzheimer's Society of Canada through local and national fundraising efforts. Since 2000, its franchises have collectively raised more than $950,000 for the organization.

The chefs at Arby's stack sandwiches with slow-roasted beef, made in-house every day, and other tasty treats from a multifarious menu stocked with sides, snacks, and desserts. The classic roast-beef sandwich, a time-honoured favourite of thinly sliced roast beef housed inside a sesame-seed bun ($2.99), moonlights as the pièce de résistance in the Sandwich Hall of Fame. Monuments to cheesy excess take form in the beef 'n cheddar combo, which decks a toasted onion roll with Arby's red-ranch sauce, a drool-inducing pile of roast beef, and warm cheddar cheese ($6.99). In addition to reigning over the empire of roast beef, Arby's also holds power in the fiefdom of chicken with poultry-packed sandwiches such as the chicken bacon and swiss, in which a crispy or roasted chicken-breast fillet lounges atop a honey-mustard-smothered toasted bun ($5.39).
